BRUSH BAR – CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS
•
If your brush bar is obstructed, it may shut 'OFF'. If this happens, you will need
to remove the blockage.
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
If you still cannot clear the obstruction, please follow the instructions below to
remove the base plate. This gives more access to the obstruction. Alternatively,
contact us via the Dyson Customer Care Helpline or visit the Dyson website.
•
Clearing brush bar obstructions is not covered by your Dyson guarantee.
BASE PLATE – DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
•
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
•
Lay the appliance on its front.
•
Detach the red 'C' clip which is on the connection between the cleaner head and
the appliance; see the 'Brush bar maintenance' section on pages 6 and 7 of this
Dyson Operating Manual. It is quite firm, but do not pull it off roughly. Use a
constant, firm pressure.
•
Pull the cleaner head away from the appliance. Use a constant, firm pressure.
•
On the cleaner head are two silver dials: turn each a quarter-turn
counter-clockwise until it clicks.
•
Put the cleaner head onto its back:
– Lift up the top edge of the base plate, so it rotates to the upright position.
– Lift out.
•
Beware of sharp objects when clearing obstructions.
•
To refit the base plate:
– Fit the 3 lugs on the lower edge of the base plate into the 3 slots in the base
of the cleaner head.
– Swing the upper edge of the base plate down; it will click into place.
– Secure the first dial by turning it a quarter-turn clockwise until it clicks
and engages.
– Repeat with the second dial.
•
Refit the red 'C 'clip onto the cleaner head. The flatter edge of the clip fits
against the cleaner head. It is easier to slide one lug into its slot before the other.
•
Lay the appliance on its back.
•
Attach the cleaner head by sliding it on to the connections on the lower front
part of the ball. Ensure the electrical plug on the cleaner head fits into the
twin-block connection on the body of the appliance, which is directly above the
airway. Push firmly: the cleaner head will click into place.
